Just don't ask me to go and ride with you though- 15mph on a recovery ride is faster than my normal ride speed.
I plan on riding at least one day a week with him or one of the other club racers. And it was on a rather flat road so 15 was only about 90 RPM. When I got home the Cycle computer indicated my average was 14.5. The tail wind coming home was Sweeeeeet.
He does seem to know something about training. He told me about not trying to skip breakfast before a club ride. Explained about fuel and hydration even when trying to lose weight. All those things have proven to be true.
I just don't understand how working my legs even at a more relaxed pace could make the feel better. But I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
